In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Tristan Ingram — DJ, producer, promoter, and a true trooper of the Ibiza and UK dance music scene.

Tristan’s story is not an overnight success narrative. It’s a long-game career built on hard work, consistency, and turning up year after year. From his first season in Ibiza as a Club 18–30 rep, to throwing his own parties, managing Judgement Sundays, and producing tracks that landed global recognition and “track of the summer” moments, this is a grounded, honest look at what it really takes to survive in dance music.

We talk about sharing stages with major artists, playing iconic venues including Space Ibiza, Cream, and returning to Amnesia Ibiza during Kevin & Perry week. We also dig into the realities of modern promotion, social media pressure, and how the industry has changed post-Covid.

This episode isn’t hype-driven.

If you care about Ibiza culture, dance music careers, or the behind-the-scenes reality of making it work long-term, this conversation will resonate.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Slipmatt, one of the most defining figures in UK rave culture.

With a career spanning more than 35 years, Slipmatt has lived through the birth of rave, the explosion of dance music culture, and the evolution from illegal warehouse parties to global stages. Few people can tell this story from the inside like he can.

We go right back to the origins of rave culture, starting with Raindance in 1989. Slipmatt shares first-hand accounts of those early nights, the community that formed around the music, and how a passion for rave became a life-long career. This is a deep dive into electronic dance music history, told by someone who was there when it all began.

We also talk about Ibiza, legacy, and why staying connected to the culture still matters decades later. From preserving rave history through Slip Back In Time to reflecting on what rave culture means today, this is an honest conversation about longevity, responsibility, and community.

This is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.

If you care about old school rave, UK dance music history, or the roots of club culture, this episode is essential.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Ulysses, one of the most important figures in Ibiza club history.

Jonathan held a 17-year DJ residency at Space Ibiza, making him the longest-running resident DJ at one of the most iconic clubs on the planet. Few people experienced Ibiza’s golden era as deeply or as consistently as he did.

In this conversation, Jonathan takes us inside Space from the inside out. Early mornings, marathon warm-up sets, and the unspoken responsibility of setting the tone for legends who followed. We talk about why the warm-up DJ role is a lost art, what it really meant to earn trust in a club like Space, and how Ibiza’s tight-knit worker community shaped both the music and the culture.

We also rewind to Jonathan’s roots. From early DJ days at Simples and Club 18-30, to helping shape Soul City, this is a first-hand account of survival, progression, and longevity during Ibiza’s most legendary years.

This is not a myth-making exercise.

If you care about Ibiza history, Space, or the craft of DJing beyond peak-time hype, this episode is essential.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Vicky Devine, a DJ, producer, and promoter who has been a constant presence in Ibiza’s club culture for more than two decades.

From early DJ residencies in San Antonio to pioneering the all-female DJ movement with Charlie’s Angelz, Vicky was shaping the island’s sound and culture long before conversations around representation became mainstream.

This is an honest, first-hand account of what it really took to build a long-term career in Ibiza. We talk about the early years of the island’s club scene, long nights behind the decks, and the realities of DJ life beyond the glamour. Vicky shares insights into community, resilience, and the relationships that sustained careers during Ibiza’s most formative eras.

We also reflect on key moments such as long-term residencies including Judgement Sundays, memories from Kevin & Perry at Amnesia Ibiza, and how the island has changed over the years.

This isn’t a highlight reel.

If you care about Ibiza history, electronic dance music, or the realities of life behind the decks, this episode will resonate.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Dwayne Muffin, one of the most recognisable content creators to emerge from Ibiza nightlife.

From selling tickets in San Antonio’s West End to building a massive online following by filming Ibiza exactly as it is, Dwayne has spent more than 15 years documenting the island from the inside. His work captures not just the madness, but the mechanics of how Ibiza nightlife really functions.

This conversation goes behind the scenes of virality, online pressure, and the reality of turning nightlife into content. We talk about how Ibiza content spreads, what actually drives YouTube growth, and the toll that constant visibility can take on creators living inside the scene they film.

We also look forward. How Ibiza is changing, what the island looks like heading into 2025, and where creators fit in an era of algorithms, short attention spans, and shifting club culture.

This isn’t a hype episode.

If you’re interested in Ibiza culture, YouTube growth, or how scenes are documented in real time, this episode delivers.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with AJ Gibson, the resident DJ who was there from the very beginning of Godskitchen.

Godskitchen didn’t just define a sound, it defined an era. From its earliest club nights to its rise as a global dance music brand, AJ gives a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of how Godskitchen was built, why the atmosphere was so special, and what made it resonate with an entire generation.

We explore life inside the club from day one, the growth of party brands, and the transition from local nights to international impact through Global Gathering, world tours, and iconic compilation albums. AJ also reflects on the return of Godskitchen to Ibiza, including Ibiza XXV, and what that connection to the island still means today.

The conversation moves beyond nostalgia into perspective. From record shopping in the 1990s and 2000s to DJing in the age of social media, AJ shares insights on how the scene has changed and where dance music might be heading next.

This is not a retrospective soundbite.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Gee Moore, the visionary behind Bora Bora Music Ibiza and one of the true pioneers of Ibiza’s daytime party culture.

Gee Moore helped redefine what clubbing could be on the island. From 12-hour marathon sets beneath the flight path at Playa d’en Bossa to building a movement that influenced daytime parties across the world, his impact on Ibiza club culture is impossible to overstate.

In this conversation, we go deep into the origins of Bora Bora Music Ibiza, the atmosphere that made those years so special, and the reality of building something organic before social media and algorithms existed. Gee also reflects on his wider creative journey, from record labels and releases to his life in Brazil and how distance reshaped his relationship with music and Ibiza.

This is not a surface-level nostalgia trip.

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Kirk Field, one of the most respected and credible voices in UK rave and club culture.

Kirk was there at the birth of the scene. As a journalist for Mixmag, DJ Mag, and NME, he documented the rise of UK rave culture from the inside, at a time when misinformation, media panic, and political pressure distorted what was really happening on dancefloors across the country.

This conversation goes deep into the reality of the early rave years. The scale, the energy, the chaos, and the community that defined an era. We talk honestly about the myths versus the truth, why the press often got it wrong, and why documenting rave culture accurately still matters today.

We also explore Kirk’s latest work, Rave New World 2: Planes, Trains & Amphetamines, and why the sequel had to be written. From UK warehouses and legendary venues like Bagleys and Freedom, to Ibiza in the 1990s and the realities behind overcrowded superclubs, this is a first-hand account of a movement that reshaped music history.

This is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.
